Rare and high quality piece, this lamp is a perfect example of the ingenuity and visionary thinking of its french creator, Clément Nauny, also known as Desny. Spearhead of modernism, he opened a store in 1927 in Paris where he exhibited his very original creations (lighting and silversmithery). Using chrome metal and futuristic shapes, his work is a prefiguration of design.

Banketing table – circa 1940

This exceptionnal six meters long banketing table sets-up at the”Bon Marché”.

Created for the newspaper « La Loire Républicaine » in Saint-Etienne (South of France), and rediscovered by the gallery Anne-Sophie Duval, the table now takes place at the “Bon Marché” (an emblematic french shop). This impressive structure is a blend of metal beam and brass which support three Carrara marble plates. Its outline combines modernist rigour and neoclassicism inspiration.
